Preparation

  1. In a large saucepan, roast the spices (peppercorns, coriander seeds , cumin , cinnamon sticks , cloves , cardamom pods) in oil until slightly golden brown and aromatic .
  2. To the saucepan, add ginger and garlic until the raw smell goes off for 3-4 min on medium heat. To this, add onions and carrots. Saute until onions turn translucent.
  3. Add tomatoes and coriander / cilantro stems. Mix them well. Then, add 1.5 cups water - simmer the mixture until tomatoes are completely cooked and mushy- about 10 minutes on medium flame.
  4. Add the remaining 2.5 cups of water and let simmer for 10 more minutes. Then, let the mixture cool. Once cooled, grind mixture into a fine paste and pass through a sieve to collect the liquid, which is the soup.
  5. Boil the soup until hot.
  6. Serve hot with garlic bread.
